HOUGHTON, Mich. – The Michigan Tech hockey team suffered its first home defeat of the season Friday (Dec. 14) with a 1-0 loss to Alabama Huntsville. The Huskies outshot the Chargers 39-17 but couldn't sneak a shot past goaltender Mark Sinclair.

"I don't think we showed up with the intensity we need to compete at this level," Tech coach Joe Shawhan said. "They executed a game plan and turned it into a man on man game. I give full credit to Coach Corbett on how he has his team playing right now."

"Credit them. They came out hard," Captain Dylan Steman said. "We weren't ready to go at the drop of the puck. They're a hard team to play against. They may not have the best record, but they're a good hockey team."

UAH (3-14-0, 3-8-0-0 WCHA) scored the only goal of the game 10:30 after puck drop on a deflection out front by Bailey Newton. John Teets and Connor Merkley assisted on the play.

Tech (9-7-1, 8-2-1-1 WCHA) drew iron three times in the game. Jake Lucchini had a pair of chances midway through the second with two shots hitting the post in a matter of 10 seconds.

Seamus Donohue nailed the crossbar in the third period after he corralled a rebound.

Tech goaltender Robbie Beydoun was pulled with 1:40 left in the third for the extra attacker. The Huskies added a power play with 51 seconds remaining and had their chances. Dylan Steman jammed at the puck in the crease several times in the final 10 seconds, but Sinclair kept the puck out for his first career shutout.
